Linear Referencing in ArcGIS Pro | 1 day | $550
ArcGIS stores geometry (points, lines, and polygons) to represent the location of features on the Earth. When analyzing features that fall along a linear corridor, such as a highway, pipeline, or river, linearly referenced datasets are used. Lin ear Referencing allows the user to create a linear model of real-world features, displaying things like pavement quality, speed limits, number of lanes, and even stop lines as events at a location along the line. It allows for the display of multiple la yers of attributes along the same linear system, and for the analysis of those features in terms of lengths along the line.
